Taste tester
We are trying to make the switch to table food, but not having the most success.
LIKES:
Puffs, yogurt, chicken, banana, mango
IFFY:
Toast, sweet potato, sea bass
DISLIKES:
Tofu, mozzarella, avocado, blueberries, orange, peas, carrots
NEXT UP:
Pasta, salmon, kiwi, green beans, soft jarred no-sugar added peaches and pears
She still prefers her jarred food. I feel like this kid is still going to be on a diet of Stage 2 pureed food and puffs when she's 10! I mean, how embarassing is that going to be when kids are trading Fruit by the Foot and Lucy's strapping on her bib to eat 10 jars of pureed apples and prunes??
If you have any suggestions for what your kiddos liked when switching to table food, I'd love to hear it!

um i can't say i blame her for not liking tofu. aaowerupoearueaer.
i wish i had some tips for you! keep us posted on what she ends up eating!
A few things I've done with Harrington is introduce the new food with the babyfood. ie. put applesauce on his toast, or the pureed squash on pasta (which I'm sure she'll like!) Also try combining avocado/pear (or whatever combo sounds good). He will usually eat anything but I haven't tried as much as you have already! He definitely makes a face with different textures. They just looooove those Puffs! Love the blog!

The magic trick for us was tomato sauce (and patience and persistence). I can cover most things with tomato sauce and she will eat it. I puree lamb, steak, chicken and add veggies (zucchini, mushrooms, etc) and coat with tomato sauce. Place atop a small sized pasta. Farfalline works best for us; baby bow-ties. Bite sized. You can add cream if you want to add some more calories.
Also, cut out snacks for a couple days while you transition. Lucy will be nice and hungry for meal times. It can be so frustrating but you just have to keep at it. She will figure it out.
Good luck!

Excited for some variety for Lu!
However, Lucy hated blueberries the first time, but we tried again yesterday and she loved them! Maybe she will change her mind about tofu and avocado? And hopefully veggies....
Perhaps I'll make some homemade hummus for Lu!
At that age, bowie pretty much only ate the baby food I made and toast. But I kept introducing fruit like strawberries and bananas, and he also really liked animal crackers.
